For example, euro, Danish, Egyptian, and lower-value Russian banknotes mostly depict architecture on both sides (though some of the Egyptian ones depict pharaohs, but nobody from the last three millenia). The 1992 and 2005 versions of South Africa's banknotes feature iconic wildlife on one side, and landscapes symbolizing industries on the other.
Conversely, when banknotes do depict people (which does seem to be the norm), you're not always lucky enough for them to be different people. Brazil, China, England, India, Malaysia, Pakistan, Thailand, and Turkey all print the same national hero on every single banknote (well, the same per country, not the same for all eight of them! - also Brazil's is an artistic anthropomorphization rather than a real person). Which could be an option for more egotistical @@LEADERPLURAL@@.

we’ve had the same people on them since 1935!

are probably dancing on dangerously thin ice when it comes to player autonomy. I'd replace them with adjectives or exaggeration, or jokes.

There are all sorts of published issues that impede on player autonomy. e.g I have no Arctic areas in my nation, yet I get issues pertaining to said Arctic areas existing. There has to be flexibility in the writing of issues otherwise all we'd hear is, "This doesn't apply to my nation, you're violating my autonomy!" It'd be next to impossible to publish anything.

Not sure if this is also too assuming ("my country already has plastic notes!1!"), but some mention of paper vs plastic banknotes might work, somewhere. But I can see that being worth a different issue, though.

Thank you for the kind advice/link!Australian rePublic wrote:Some assumptions are needed to make the issue work. Avoid unnecassery assumptions
I don't think this is an egregious assumption or violation of player autonomy. Again. It happens all the time in issues.SherpDaWerp wrote:Foogle, teehee.

Hmm I think it may be its own issue, because then we'd be into the whole paper vs plastic, and that'd get people involved from the lumber industry wanting to preserve paper, etc., but it's a good idea!

It'd be good to see you fix all the little details: straight quotes, non-capitalised effect lines, normal macro format, and so on.
